First of all, RIP Bill Paxton ;A; I loved him in Twister, and other movies.

I haven’t actually watched James Paxton in anything, I don’t watch him on Eyewitness, but I have seen some borderline NSFW gifs of it on tumblr, and…

I see potential… Can’t quite articulate why, not even being sarcastic. He seems to have the right blend of cockiness and tenderness, and he’s already experienced with making out with another guy on screen, and it would be gr9 to have that in the new VC adaptation.

^I mean, again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think this lighting is working for him, softening his features somewhat. He seems pretty w/o being like, a model. He has a boy-next-door quality. I imagine that some of what drew ppl to Lestat as a mortal was his blend of confidence, shyness, and caring, those are the things that make what would have been a slightly-above-average-looking guy into someone really gorgeous <3. Then vampiring enhanced what he already had going for him.

So yeah I would screentest him! Send his name over to AR.
